Well Piggers,
The pointless activities of this week are almost at an end. Sure, we may have sold a few videotapes, won a couple of court cases, taught a few equations and dicked around on the internet more than anything else, but we haven’t yet won a Premiership, which of course, if the only thing that really matters this week.
As our ridiculously hairy-backed Skipper predicted, Pig Park brought out the best in us for the semi – we were vocal, confident and focussed. However, it is easy to be confident when bowling a team out for 75 at a ground that we haven’t lost at in 22 appearances. Tomorrow we are unlikely to have it so easy.
We are playing the No. 2 side in the comp (who just happened to end up with the Minor Premiership), which means that they are likely to build a partnership or two and throw down a few gems.
Batsmen, from 1 to 11, need to protect their wicket. After all, it’s your GF wicket – your firstborn is not as valuable. If we bat for 72 overs, Ricky is paying $1.09 for the win.
Bowlers need to be patient with that line and length, as well as fire the firetruck up Stato!
Fielders have to hunt the ball and try their absolute best not to f*ck it up when it comes their way, particularly if it’s in the air.
The important thing is that regardless of how the game is panning out, we all keep our heads high, maintain the chatter and give it our all because there is no next week. If we’re under the pump; we just keep plugging away. If we’re doing the pumping; we pump Pump PUmp PUMp PUMP it hard!
Remember; we’re playing a team that last week nearly lost to a team whose captain was run out while congratulating his partner on the boundary he’d just hit. We haven’t lost to them yet and we’re not gonna start tomorrow.
As extra inspiration, I’ve attached a picture of the backbone of this Premiership side; our much-loved wicky.
